Since I’ve posted the Drupal article, I was hoping that Joomla would be the next CMS to have integration with Cake. What I like about Joomla is their administration interface. I’ve been playing around with Joomla 1.5 Beta 2 and they have really cleaned it up nicely. Unfortunately it’s taking them awhile to release a stable version, but I’m sure we’ll be pleased once it does finally released.
After doing some searching it looks like the Joomla - CakePHP integration has become a reality. The folks at Giga Promoters have posted an article on how this can be done. Read the full story here
I’ve recently been studying for the Zend PHP 5 certification exam and so far the study guide has been a disappointment. I’ll soon write a full review for the study guide, but at the moment I’m looking to helpful resources for passing the exam. I’ve read it is much harder than the PHP 4 exam, which doesn’t surprise me, but it’s a bit discouraging reading posts in the PHP | Architect forums that the study guide and practice tests didn’t help. I keep passing the practice tests, but from what I hear they are easier than the real thing, contrary to what php architect says.
If anyone one has any helpful resources I’d appreciate it if you emailed me or posted on here.
Drupal is a powerful open source content management system and on Monday, January 18th, they have released version 5.0. I strongly recommend this CMS as it’s one of the most flexible systems in the open source market. Also, it’s free!.
